      Remove 1MB bodge from LongDesc LoadAndDecodeL1Entry · ce95d42e
      Jeffrey Lee authored
      LoadAndDecodeL1Entry will now always return the size/alignment of the
      entry. This allows ConstructCAMfromPageTables to walk over a 2MB long
      descriptor page table pointer in one go, instead of splitting it into
      two 1MB chunks (as if short descriptor page tables were in use) and
      calling LoadAndDecodeL1Entry twice. This has allowed the 1MB result
      alignment bodge to be removed from the LongDesc version of
      LoadAndDecodeL1Entry.

      Support RAM banks with high physical addresses · df4efb68
      Jeffrey Lee authored
      This changes PhysRamTable to store the address of each RAM bank in terms
      of (4KB) pages instead of bytes, effectively allowing it to support a 44
      bit physical address space. This means that (when the long descriptor
      page table format is used) the OS can now make use of memory located
      outside the lower 4GB of the physical address space. However some
      public APIs still need extending to allow for all operations to be
      supported on high RAM (e.g. OS_Memory logical to physical address
      lookups)
      
      OS_Memory 12 (RecommendPage) has been extended to allow R4-R7 to be used
      to specify a (64bit) physical address range which the recommended pages
      must lie within. For backwards compatibility this defaults to 0-4GB.

      Initial long descriptor support · b51b5540
      Jeffrey Lee authored
      This adds initial support for the "long descriptor" MMU page table
      format, which allows the CPU to (flexibly) use a 40-bit physical address
      space.
      
      There are still some features that need fixing (e.g. RISCOS_MapInIO
      flags), and the OS doesn't yet support RAM above the 32bit limit, but
      this set of changes is enough to allow for working ROMs to be produced.
      
      Also, move MMUControlSoftCopy initialisation out of ClearWkspRAM, since
      it's unrelated to whether the HAL has cleared the RAM or not.
